Roller's Philosophical Friday: Simplicity

Dearest Muleteers, as you are all aware I am a lover of the simple things in life.  This morning the simplest things made me contented.  I had fresh clean water in my bucket, I had a nice clean bed, I had some clean straw and haylage to eat, I could watch the rain from inside my stable and I had my best pals to keep me company.  I do not want for much and believe that by appreciating the simple things in life we can slow down and remember that such simple things are actually a blessing.

For what is simple for me is luxury for many of my friends (both human and animals) around the world.  Spare a thought for those who can only dream of what we have and to whom such simple things are luxuries.  By enjoying simple things and being clear in who we are we may remind ourselves now and again of how lucky we are.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
